  1. Our story

Our funding

We can only provide our life-changing service thanks to the people who support us. We aim to be as transparent as possible in how we raise funds and support our work. For every pound that's donated to us, we spend 86 pence on our life-changing one-to-one support. 

We would like to thank the following organisations, foundations and individuals, and many others too numerous to mention, for their support. It is thanks to their investment, and many others, that we have been able to help over 200,000 children over the period of our existence. We also thank the many other individuals and organisations who support us but prefer to remain anonymous. 

With special thanks to

  • Paul and Sharon Pindar
  • Phil and Jenny Dudderidge
  • Andrew Franklin 

And many Jack's Club members and other individual donors.
